Chapter 10
Fade was confused about the situation. He then carried the gift he bought from the mall and returned to his room.
After cleaning up, Fade quietly went upstairs with the gift from the mall.
At this moment, in the master bedroom upstairs, Quin looked at the laptop on the table with a blank look in her eyes. Quin's mind was wandering off and she was unable to concentrate on the content on the laptop. Quin felt inexplicably agitated.
In her imagination, Quin could see Fade and Xenia interacting intimately, and the scene of them leaving together after work resurfaced endlessly in her mind. Quin could even imagine Fade and Xenia shopping and having dinner together.
For a moment, Quin felt jealousy boiling in her.
Quin sighed and comforted herself, "You're just contractual husband and wife; the only relationship between the both of you is a contract marriage. You're not a couple at all. Besides, an ordinary man like him could be found everywhere. There's nothing to be jealous of."
After that, Quin pulled herself together and started to focus on the computer.
However, after a while, Quin' s thoughts involuntarily drifted away, and all kinds of things related to Fade appeared in her mind again.
"Ah—it's so annoying," Quin was at the brink of getting crazy. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Right then, there was a knock on the door.
Quin was stunned and immediately calmed herself down. Quin answered the knock calmly, "Auntie Wong, the door is unlocked. Come in."
It was not Housekeeper Wong. Instead, it was Fade's voice outside the door, "Dea - Quin, it's me. My hands are full, come help me with the door."
Quin frowned and said coldly, "What are you doing here? I told you not to come to my room."
"I, I have something important to tell you," Fade said.
Something important. Upon hearing this phrase, Quin couldn't help but think of the time Fade had reminded her to be careful of Donald; Fade had also used this phrase. Quin also recalled that she had misunderstood Fade and she had not apologized to him properly yet.
With this thought, Quin sighed quietly and got up to open the door, "Wait a minute, I'm coming!"
As soon as Quin opened the door, she saw Fade standing in front of her with a huge paper bag in his arms. Not only were his hands full, but he was also holding a paper bag with his mouth.
"Hurry up, help me pick it up. There are too many things," Fade muttered with a paper bag still in his mouth.
Quin took a few bags in surprise and frowned slightly, "What are you doing? What are these?"
Fade smiled at her and said, "Why don't you have a guess?"
Quin kept her poker face and refused the childish act instantly, "I won't. I have better things to do. If you have nothing to say, I'll go back to work."
Looking at Quin’s reaction, Fade did not dare to joke around anymore. Fade hurriedly said, "Quin, don't! You'll know when you open it."
Quin opened the big paper bag in front of her doubtfully. When she saw the content, her eyes suddenly lit up. Quin reached in and picked up a pile of furry dolls. Quin raised her head and looked
at Fade in surprise, "How did you know that I like these—"
Before Quin finished her words, she blushed and stopped talking. After all, Quin was always the distant cold president in front of the public. If people knew that Quin likes furry dolls, they would probably be shocked out of their wits.
Fade chuckled and said, "When I came back that night, I went into your room. Also, the key you are carrying around with you has a little doll hanging on it."
Quin turned her head around and realized that the decoration of her room was based on a cute theme and it was all pink and fluffy. There were also many cute plushies on the bed and the closet.
For a moment, Quin blushed and her impression of Fade slightly changed. Quin did not expect Fade to be so attentive.
At this moment, Fade mysteriously took out a large doll from his back and placed it in front of Quin, mimicking sound effects from his mouth, "Quin, look at this! You will definitely like it, Ang Ang Ang..."
"Ah, Doraemon! It's my favorite!" Quin cried out in surprise when she saw the doll; it was as if she went back to being a teenager, hugging the life-size doll tightly. Quin was too happy to let go of the doll.
Hearing Fade's laughter, Quin regained her composure. Quin put the doll down and said to Fade shyly, "How, how do you know I like Doraemon?"
Fade pointed around the room and said with a smile, "The comic on your bedside and those small Doraemon plushies; anyone would know with just a glance."
Hearing Fade's words, Quin felt warmth embracing her heart. The jealousy in her immediately disappeared and was replaced with great joy instead.
Quin's heart was filled with joy and her face was full of happiness. Aside from that, Quin's cheeks were flushed, which made her, who was originally already beautiful, looked even more charming. Fade's Adam's apple bobbed and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
"Thank you!" Quin's face was rosy from the joy and she thanked Fade with a smile. This was the first time Quin had thanked Fade so sincerely. Subsequently, Quin asked Fade, "Why, why are you giving me presents suddenly?"
Fade smiled and said, "You have probably received a call from your family. I guess that they are forcing you into a marriage which would probably upset you. So I went out to buy these dolls to cheer you up."
"Ah, you-" Quin remembered that Fade was at the door of the office when she was answering the phone call and had then left, "You left to buy me a doll?"
Fade nodded and said, "Yes but I'm not very familiar with Bay City, so I asked Xenia to take me to the mall to get these dolls. In return, I treated her to a meal."
"So it turns out you went out with Xenia to-" Quin was a little surprised. Quin thought of her ridiculous imaginations and inexplicable jealousy, she couldn't help but blush.
Fade smiled and said, "Do you think I've gone out on a date with Xenia? So you were jealous and angry with me?"
Quin blushed once again at Fade's words. She turned her head away in a hurry before snorting and denied, "Who's jealous? You think too highly of yourself. Humph!"
"Really?" Fade blinked and let out a small smile.
"If I said so, then that's what it is. Don't think too much." Quin was still blushing profusely now.
"Well then. Sure, I will not think much of it."
Fade smiled and waved his hand, ready to leave.
Quin suddenly thought of something. She stopped Fade and said, "Wait a minute!"
"What's wrong?" Fade turned around to look at Quin.
Quin lowered her head slightly and said with a shy expression, "Fade, I'm sorry. Yesterday, I misunderstood you. Please accept my apology."
Fade was stunned and even a little surprised. After a moment, Fade smiled and said, "It's okay. I've forgotten about it."
